Efrat Preschoolers Appreciate Classic Israeli Literature

One ofVoices readers, Rabbi Jeffrey Saks, Director, ATID - Academy for Torah Initiatives and Directions, told us that many yeshiva high schools are allowing students to opt out of classic Israeli literature, and replacing those classes with "Israeli Thought". S.Y. Agnon and Hayim Nahman Bialikand others are being sidestepped in many yeshiva high schools.

Meanwhile, Rabbi Saks sent us a very special video to show that while the Lit Masters may be on the outs with high schoolers, Efrat's youngest population values legendary authors like Bialik. (Presenting four-year-old Yair Saks.)
